Mecha BREAK is attracting far more players than any other demo at the Steam Next Fest, and those players have to decide which Striker (or mech) to unlock first. It takes a while to unlock all of the Mecha BREAK Strikers through the progression system, so knowing what the best ones are beforehand can make the task much easier.
After you complete the tutorial, you’ll have the default Striker Alysnes unlocked already. Once you’ve completed a few matches and some introductory tasks, you should have enough Matrix Credits to unlock these must-have Strikers in Mecha BREAK. The game’s creator Kris Kwok may not be able to pick favorites, but we can.
Best Strikers to Unlock in Mecha BREAK
Tricera
Tricera only costs 3,200 Matrix Credits, a relative steal considering the cost of other Strikers and given how valuable he is. An Ultra-Heavy Defender, Tricera comes equipped with two sets of gatling guns, and its greatest strength is its unreal defensive capabilities. Its gatling guns can be fired at the same time, shredding opponent armor. Tricera can also transform into a nearly impenetrable turret mode, in which it can also deploy drones that heal itself and friendly units around it. When a defender is needed to hold down an objective in 6v6, there’s arguably no better option early on Tricera.
Welkin
In contrast to the defensive capabilities of Tricera, Welkin is a melee offensive dynamo, costing 6,800 Matrix Credits to unlock. Equipped with a sick battle axe that bypasses enemy armor, Welkin’s signature ability is a stasis field that locks enemies in with you and a drone that deals additional damage and stagger. It e also has two smoke fields to get him out of tricky situations: a Jamming field that destroys enemy drones and blinds enemies facing you, and a Defense field that blocks and reduces incoming Energy damage. Close the distance on an enemy, pop the stasis field, and let the Axe go to work
Hurricane
Hurricane, another Ultra-Heavy Defender that costs 9,600 Matrix Credits, excels in creating areas that enemies will steer clear from. Its defensive field creates a large barrier that it and allies can take shelter in, and it can deploy Decoy Drones and Turret Drones to harass enemies. Hurricane’s primary fire Energy Blaster is worth charging up, as it deals continuous Area and Energy damage and will absolutely melt light attackers.
Skyraider
Skyraider, a Medium Attacker that costs 45,000 Matrix Credits, is the perfect blend of firepower and mobility, and is worth saving up for. While standing, its Autocannon and Missile deal massive amounts of damage, with a Jamming Missile that allows for blocking damage and escape potential. Once it switches to its Aerial Assault form, it can dodge missiles or lock-ons, and utilize a Missile Dispenser that can target up to 12 different units. Skyraider is great for clearing out teamfights in 6v6, and is overall a strong choice in Mashmak extraction matches.
